>sticker on the sticker
I fucking hate this shit so much bros.

>>8386576
You think you got problems? I want one that's sealed so I can open it and play it in the most pristine way, again.
*sniff*

>>8386569
If you used your hands and a controller instead of completing the game through the sheer will of your mental, using your brain waves to reorganize the code as the program is executed, you didn't beat the game.
Get to my level, scrub.

Sarcasm aside, impose all the restrictions you want on your play through, but don't expect me to align with your autism and you won't get my recognition for it, no matter how much shaming you attempt. What's next? You didn't beat the game if you took any damage on your no-sword run? You didn't beat the game if it took you more than an hour in your no-damage, no-sword run? Come on now.

>>8386625
>What's next? You didn't beat the game if you took any damage on your no-sword run? You didn't beat the game if it took you more than an hour in your no-damage, no-sword run? Come on now.

Naw, that's silly, but allegedly been done.
How about a minimum item run? That can be fun. Or you can do a quicky little thing like just collect the blue items and call it a day.
Btw I like your moxie.

zelda sucks and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't

>>8386648
It's delightful and enchanting, faygit.
What's wrong? Did you not find the good shops and got burned on a few deals? Pissed about the landlord fuckers?

>>8386569
It's post like these that make me think autists that have played the game 100 times are worse judges of the game then someone who only played it once.

>>8386586
based valuedestroyer

>>8386909
To me unless it's been played it only has half its value at best. Besides, if it isn't played, no one can be sure that it even still works.

>>8386569
>>8386576
Nothing imposes a greater feeling of SOVL like a label-defacing sticker.

>>8386569
nice kusoge

>>8386569
>Gannon

>>8387534
I don't even like when the grocery clerks have to put orange stickers all over your groceries that haven't been bagged, like yeah so I don't want a bag so now you have to deface my property? I don't know why such a small thing bothers me though but it just does.

>>8387814
>>8386576
Some employee stuck this not on the case but actually pulled the cover sheet out and stuck it on there. Tried to remove it and stopped out of fear of ruining the spine. Who the fuck does this? Why couldn't you just stick it on the outside?

>>8387665
Huh?

>>8386569
>Thoughts?

It’s /v/-tier nonsense and you know it.

>>8388213
Why? It's a great challenge for those who have already beaten the game.
Being able to demolish an entire room of wizrobes or darknuts without a sword feels great.

Also it feels epic to be able to get to Gannon without a sword, die, then die again so you can start at the actual starting place, then finally pick up the sword and then go straight to killing him. It's like Rocky I and Rocky II. In one Rocky loses technically, but in II he completely wins.

>>8388287
It’s your claim that you didn’t really “beat the game” otherwise. This type of thing is just bait, it doesn’t make for a compelling discussion or even a decent argument for that matter. There are threads like this all over /v/ particular in regards to the Souls games and they’re always cancerous bouts of memespeak that get hundreds of responses but ultimately lead nowhere.

You should strive to be better than that.

>>8388295
>It’s your claim that you didn’t really “beat the game” otherwise. This type of thing is just bait

No, it isn't bait, it's a fact for those who have already beaten the game and want more challenge. Is this a hard concept to grasp?

>>8388296
No its just you jacking yourself off you dumb nigger

>>8388297
Then if it's just me, how am I posting all those videos of other attempts to do it?
I'm pretty good at being other people too, huh.
You're just starting trouble, literally calling me a racial slur over an extra fun challenge in a video game. Get lost.

>>8388296
>already beaten the game
>but they still haven’t beaten the game

Lol anon, pls

>>8388305
You and everyone knows what that means.
Post-modern retardery ain't cool anymore.
So yeah, the game never outright tells you to take the sword, it's just inferred you should take it:
>It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.
Nah, keep it, old man.

>>8387534
>>8387534
>Nothing imposes a greater feeling of SOVL like a label-defacing sticker.
This is true for some reason.

>>8388307
This isn’t the hill to die on you goddamn sperg. Your miserable use of language deserves all the criticism it gets. Beating the game with or without the sword does not invalidate beating the game. A challenge is one thing, but to make claims such as the one you made in the OP is utter nonsense. I’m not gonna argue any further as this is a waste of time. Consider using your brain before making this thread in the future.

>>8387829
some stores are assholes with stickers on purpose so they can't be removed. That way the game can't be sold in another store and even if the game changes hand 10 times the stickers in still on there.

The worst i've seen are stickers on the disc itself. Big ugly yellow sticker on the inner round part of PS1 discs with the name of the store.

>>8388318
>tfw my copy of Misadventures of Tron Bonne has a huge HOLLYWOOD VIDEO decal sticker on it

Eh, even back in 2003 getting a copy of that game was hard as hell so frankly I ain’t even mad

>>8388315
Fucking go to another thread you pathetic ball of hatred and no-funness.
lol

>>8388304
>how am I posting all those videos of other attempts to do it?
Not a single video posted in this thread.

>>8388343
>Not a single video posted in this thread.
And? You know they exist so why post them? You weren't going to watch them anyway, don't lie.

ANYWAY, please ignore the troll who keeps derailing.
Back to the original point, if you really want to beat Zelda I, sack up and ignore the old man.

>>8388347
You only brought them up to deflect from the obvious fact that you're jacking off right now

>>8388353
You sound like you got problems.
Another fun aspect of not taking the sword is is forces you to git gud at bobbing and weaving enemies so that you can collect the 100 rupees from the traitor molblin at the right-top part of the map.
Good times.

>>8388367
*is that

To me this gets to the real core of playing classic video games-you begin to set your own rules so that you really play the game instead of it playing you.

why is this guy talking about Zelda over and over again, this is a thread about label defacing stickers

>>8388531
So post em.

>>8386569
>If you can't get to Gannon without a sword you didn't beat the game.
That's a stupid thing to post. I beat the game countless times since the 1980s.

>>8388296
>fact
So you don't know what a "fact" is? Are you genuinely mentally retarded?

I hope you at least try and learn a lesson and next time you make a thread don't fill it full of bait shit.

>>8389405
You completed the game, but you didn't beat it in the sense I'm talking about.

>>8389426
You're actually telling me that you speak for everyone in the world that plays the game?
What an ego.
Yes, extra challenge for veterin

>>8389429
*veteran players
I swear some of you just want to argue.

Zoomers need to be kicked off the board.
Swordless Zelda has been a thing for decades, but zoomers who refuse to get good are so assmad that they try to ruin someone's thread.
Pathetic.

Unless the stunt also unlocks a "best ending" or alternate graphics/text, it's just a curiosity and you've beaten the game.

>>8390164
>Unless the stunt also unlocks a "best ending" or alternate graphics/text, it's just a curiosity and you've beaten the game.
It's still fun. Your pic related is not fun.

Beat the game without the sword? Ha sorry faggot. How about you beat the game without even turning it on, like me? You haven’t actually beaten the game unless you do it like this and you’re a zoomer boomer tumour coomer who got filtered and based and cringe soul crt kino ludo scotfotmer SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP I HATE THIS BOARD SO MUCH AAARAFAFVHHBGFH

>>8390178
Yes but it can also be defined as the "best ending" and you haven't really beaten the game unless you've seen it.

>>8390186
>it can also be defined as the "best ending" and you haven't really beaten the game unless you've seen it.
I accept that.

>>8389438
Maybe stop shitting up the board with your cancerous bait threads then you stupid samefagger

>>8390185
Lol

>>8390189
It was fine again until you came back.

What’s worse (better?). Price stickers and other shit covering a box or game, or when the store uses their own awful box

Now this? This is SOVL

>>8390223
Poor Paper Mario.
1000:1 it still works.

>>8390213
Price stickers are much more of a nuisance, obviously

>>8390230
Oh shit, WD brought over Thunder Force V? Huh. Always associated them with JRPGs or niche Jap sidescrollers. Weird seeing them bring over a more “normal” game for them. I know they did that Sega Ages arcade collection for the Saturn too. Cool stuff

Here bro, I bought over a game

The real sin is reusing Aquamentus for a boss. They should have gone with Patra instead, the Skull didn't need two bosses.

The Hyrule Fantasy tends to make up for a potentially overpowered late-game Link by simply increasing the enemy count.

>>8390273
Are you saying the Japanese version has more enemies or are you being autistic and saying that’s the game’s proper name

>>8390238
Pic related too. Very strange game, kind of a dream/AI based shootie.
I regret having to sell my copy, even though it only cost fifteen bux originally

>>8386569
completely agreed op, i just did it last week.
>boot up randomizer
>old man gives me the magic rod instead
>>8386576
the worst shit.
>>8390185
god same desu baka whatever new word of the bloody week. memes are just shit now i swear to god not even talking about wojaks and frogposters it's just so lame.

>>8390289
>name their sub label after the word for a raving retard
WD really were based huh?

>>8390276
That is the game subtitle, nothing autistic about it. Although I do believe there are some *extremely* minor enemy placement differences between the FDS release and the cart release.

>>8390317
https://youtu.be/XQRDQL3gdGs?t=27

>>8390340
Even better. Game looks pretty fun too

>>8390213
These are kinda cool in retrospect. At least they were kind enough to give you a box you could replace the insert for, lots of nice repro labels you can print online these days.

>>8390593
The main issue is that they were often filthy and the actual insert itself had ugly art and some of the worst text placement on earth. The free box is a nice touch though, I’ll give them that

I don't even know if I can post my worst offender on this site. Some couple printed out stickers with their home address on it and plastered it over every cart they owned. I ended up buying Pole Position for the N64 from them, and you can't see the sticker at all because their fucking home address is right in the middle and if I remove it the original sticker will be destroyed. And I don't think I can post it because it's technically doxxing.

>>8388206
There was a very popular website in the early-mid 2000s called "Gannon-Banned" that compiled a list of mortal sins in the Zelda community, the primary one being misspelling Ganon as "Gannon".

>>8390683
Sounds funny so of course it's gone, right? But I spell it Gannon because I think the original ROM spelled it that way.

>>8390737
https://web.archive.org/web/20170705200401/http://www.gannon-banned.com/
Looks like it was still up until at least 2017 which is a bit of a surprise. It appears to be gone now though.

>>8386569
Oh no

To truly beat Zelda you need to cut your dick off and spit on it before inserting the cartridge into your Nintendo Entertainment system and then play the game to completion before you bleed out.
Thoughts?

>>8390626
Could just draw over the address in paint?

>>8390760
What a bunch of unfunny crap. Glad it's gone.

>>8390313
>>boot up randomizer
>>old man gives me the magic rod instead

That kinda takes the fun out of it.

>>8391386
gay mario

>>8392623
Faggot anon (You)

>>8390230
I actually wish I had left the stickers on a few of my carts simply because of how much I paid vs. what they sell for now. Obviously wasn't thinking of that at the time.

>>8392601
i was joking :v

>>8393437
you never know with a randomizer.

>>8392445
That was pretty typical mid-2000s internet humor.

>>8393451
>being unfunny is le funny
Sometimes the past sucked.

>>8393353
as long as it's not label defacing. The crazy thing about NES carts is there's so much surface area besides the sticker that there's almost no excuse for stuff like in the OP.

>>8393481
>The crazy thing about NES carts is there's so much surface area besides the sticker that there's almost no excuse for stuff like in the OP.
I think that's because the eye is naturally drawn to the label and not he usually plain gray parts.

Gay tryhard zoom

>>8393851
Love these old ads. The awful puns and the aggressive smarmy text is pretty great

>>8393851
I like how they don't try to hide the fact that Dr. Wily is the bad guy in the ad, despite the plot of the whole game being about him "reforming" to develop a new peacekeeping robot with Dr. Light.

>>8390178
Kid Icarus is an amazingly fun game, but you'd have to get through the first level to know that.

>>8395517
>Kid Icarus is an amazingly fun game

Even the Nerfed version on my Switch Online account sucks.

>>8395616
Try it while intending to have fun, then.

>>8395632
I did. I even got to the second level of Clu Clu Land out of some weird debt that I feel I owe to how great The Legend of Zelda is because of the reused sprites from the former.
I just think it's interesting that octoroks, rupees, and the magical rod's blast is in a non-Zelda game.
So as you can see, my tolerance it quite high.
But Kid Icarus is not fun-at all.

>>8395274
They're max comfy and the ones from comic books are the best.

>>8390164
tw Uprising rendered this ending non-canon, so if you've only beaten Kid Icarus with the best ending, you didn't actually truly beat the game.

>>8395701
LoL

>>8387665 >>8390683
Jesus fuck anon stop making me feel my age. I want to go back to that time.
